What Does Your Skin, Hair and Nails Really Say About Your Health?
Dr Amir Khan and Cherry Healey talk about the latest trends in beauty with skin, hair and nails. What actually works, what’s a waste of money, and how your hormones, age, and lifestyle play a bigger role than any viral product.
From hyaluronic acid vs ceramides, to SPF truths, gel nails safety, perimenopause acne, hair thinning, and the reality of the beauty industry targeting children, this is your medically-backed guide to healthy skin, strong nails, and thicker hair.
